Jason Bukala

Are we sure he's going to stick at center in the NHL?

Right.

I'm not sure his speed and size combination, because he's not an elite burner, is going to play at the next level.

I think that'll be exposed against NHLers.

He's obviously a dominant junior player in Sweden.

He can obviously play and hack it in the SHL.

But...

Against NHL players, the size, does he have the strength and speed?

Does he have either?

Does this translate?

And now you can't really say that because Vigo Bjork has been more than standing out.

In fact, that argument now looks silly, like patently silly, right?

This guy is a plus NHL level defensive force right now.

He just turned 18 and he's separating players from the pucks with what from, from pucks with hits.

And he's constantly in good position and he's providing offense and he's working the bumper pretty valuable part of the ice expertly on the Swedish power play translate.

Right.

Like, is he fast enough?

It's like, oh, he's fast enough to break up plays on the four check on the big ice against NHL players.

And he's only 18.

So I think that concern is basically put to bed, tucked in.
